I've wanted this too. I have information in Gmail (Google Apps version), Google Reader, and Google Docs, plus information I've read randomly on the internet, and I often can't remember where I saw something. The more integration they can do, the better.
As a side note, this is something Spotlight should do on OS X, but it never quite got there, because Apple as usual seems to have lost interest in this OS feature after they used it as a selling point to launch one of them (Tiger? Leopard?). I don't use Mail, but ideally Apple would have developed and promoted Spotlight plugins to the point where you could have a 'live' Gmail plugin, a Google Reader plugin, a Google plugin, etc, but Apple seems more interested in a monolithic approach.
Point being if I could also search my text messages, iChat messages, and Word docs I'd be even happier. And imagine if the closed caption full text summaries of all the Hulu and Netflix you watched were searchable too.
- jasonkolb 14y agoI love your idea of a global spotlight, incorporating APIs from all the services I use. I wish there was a service that provided this, it would save me ton of time. I suffer from the "where did I see that?" syndrome all the time.
